Day 21 very high progesterone levels after Letrozole

Can anyone offer me any reassurance please? I was put on Letrozole as a last ditched attempt before starting IVF. Ovulation has never been an issue for me, I believe I was put on letrozole to enhance the egg quality given I have had three consecutive early losses. Last cycle I was taking 5mg of Letrozole cycle day 2-6 and my progesterone levels at cycle day 21 were 117 (apparently anything above 30 is good). I was told to reduce to dose to 2.5mg this cycle given the risk of hyper stimulation and just had my results back and they were even higher at 130. I’ve been told not to carry on and now waiting another appointment with my consultant. I can find any information on why my levels might be so high and just wondered if anyone could relate or has any knowledge around it?

Thanks in advance 💗 x
